Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis sue Mail Online over baby pictures

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are suing the Mail Online over photographs of them with their baby daughter Wyatt.

The Hollywood couple are claiming unspecified damages for a breach of the Data Protection Act over pictures taken in California, reports Press Gazette.

They are also claiming over money made from the site's 'Femail fashion finder' commercial feature, which picks out items of clothing and links to where they can be bought online.

The claim concerns two articles published by Mail Online, the first containing photos taken "surreptitiously in a parking lot in Los Angeles" when Wyatt was less than 4 months old.

The second article concerns pictures of Kutcher with his child and a sweater that the 37-year-old was wearing.

The claim form reads: "Save for one image of [Wyatt] as a new born, [Kutcher and Kunis] have not released to the world at large any images of [her], nor have they consented to the publication of an image of [her]."

Some photos had a "close-up" of the baby's face, which were pixelated the next day following a complaint from the family lawyer.

It was added: "Family outings are not public events but are obviously private and it is reasonable to expect that they will not be photographed [and] published to the whole world.

"The fact that [Kutcher and Kunis] are well-known to the public does not diminish the expectation that whilst 'off-duty' (as the articles described them) the details of their family outings and/or images of those family outings will be published to the world at large."

It insisted that there was "manifestly no public interest in the publication".

The site has responded to the claim by the family, saying: "Mail Online will be vigorously defending the claim and have no further comment to make."
